Energy intensity
Ecopetrol has an Energy Efficiency Program which aims to optimize the energy consumption of the GEE, leading to a reduction in energy consumption and consequently a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions as part of the objectives of the GHG program. decarbonization. During 2020, the implementation and maintenance of energy efficiency initiatives has generated benefits of 12.8 MMCOP, equivalent to the optimization of 3.1 MW and 684 GBTU and the reduction of 51,518 TonCO2e.
For the production segment in 2020, the energy intensity indicator (1) of the production process was 1.07 kWh / barrel, decreasing 8% compared to last year, mainly due to the decrease in the barrels produced as see in Table 3.
